you run Halo in windowed mode?
Eek...
Nice job on the jetpack!
Although if you release it, change some physics and stuff, because it will fly like the Banshee, the exact same way!

well i guess your right.. but still .. cmon that sig is soo unoriginal..

well I have made it faster, it now sounds like a jetpack. Also when you stop flying it will just hover in mid air. I am having it shoot sniper bullets right now, but trying to get it so you can use whatever weapon that you have on hand.

Thank you for all the replys

spider to make it so that you can shoot whatever weapon you want:

in MNT 3 go to the banshee and then on the bottom it should say if you want the MC to be invisible, blah blah third person, blah blah, and then check the box that says MC uses weapons. then uncheck MC fires weapons or whatever it is. this will let him use his own weapon but not let him fire the banshees gun... one question though. how are you going to do the camera angle?

and can you post more pics please?

Well I have tried checking the mc uses weapons, and unchecking file weapon, but nothing will happen. I will figure out the camera angle when I get this to work. If you can figure it out, let me know. I got in the jetpack with a sniper and could not use it.

I will post more pics. when I remodel it and make it look a little bit better. When it is all done, I will release a short video clips so you can see it in action. Hope it is done by the end of the week.

Thank you all for replying.

Doesn't work. You will have to change the position he sits in such as change the seat name to W-passenger or SocrpionLF he will shoot his wep but will look like he's sitting.

Try the tags that start with A like actor varient and animation trigger. You may find something there.

New Age · Post by **New Age** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 3:50 pm

well that is the animation of the Mc getting in... im thinking if we could alter the way the MC sits

spider · Post by **spider** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 4:07 pm

I tried to insert B-passanger where it says B-driver and I can't even get in it then. But still can't figure out a way to use MC Weapons. I checked use MC Weapons but nothing happens.

I don't know where the animations are stored in the mapfile so I was just trying to make some suggestions. Either way I'll keep an eye out for anything that could aid you. This is a really cool project.

Also can you post what you have for dl on files.halomods I would like to take what you have and play with it a bit in HMT to see if I can help with the gun problem.
